Bluegiga eHealth Bluetooth Products

Bluegiga eHealth Bluetooth Products are a collection of various radio modules and the gateways that connect them. The Bluegiga eHealth Bluetooth Modules use iWRAP firmware, a powerful and easy-to-use tool that enables users to access Bluetooth functionality with simple ASCII commands delivered to the module over a serial interface. iWRAP firmware offers users a simple software integration without the need of Bluetooth protocol or profile development. It is an embedded Bluetooth stack firmware for Bluegiga's Bluetooth which hides the complexity of Bluetooth protocol stack and profiles from the end user.

WT11 and WT12 Bluetooth Modules

WT11 and WT12 are next-generation, class 1 and 2, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR modules. They introduce three times faster data rates compared to the existing Bluetooth 1.2 modules even with a lower power consumption. WT11 and WT12 are highly integrated and sophisticated Bluetooth modules, containing all the necessary elements from a Bluetooth radio antenna to a fully implemented protocol stack. Therefore WT11 and WT12 each provide an ideal solution for developers who want to integrate Bluetooth wireless technology into their designs with limited knowledge of Bluetooth and RF technologies.

Besides the iWRAP firmware, Bluegiga also offers several other firmware options for the WT11 and WT12 modules. Standard Host Command Interface (HCI) firmware is supported and is an ideal solution for systems where the host system is capable of running the entire Bluetooth stack and profiles and WT11 or WT12 is utilized as the physical radio over UART or USB interface.

WT41 Long Range Bluetooth Module

WT41 is a long range Bluetooth module offering an impressive 1000-meter range between it and the next WT41 Bluetooth module. The module utilizes Bluegiga's sophisticated radio frequency design methodologies and offers OEMs a trouble-free product even with tight integration with surrounding electronics.

Access Point 3201 and Long Range Access Point 3241

Bluegiga's Access Point 3201 is a small and cost optimized access device targeted at business applications. The product is designed to fit into wireless Bluetooth applications where the network performance, reliability, scalability and easy management are important design drivers. The heart of Access Point 3201 is Bluegiga's customized Linux operating system with a number of built-in applications, such as SPP-over-IP and ObexSender. Access Point 3201 is equipped with Bluegiga's 2.1 + EDR compliant WT11 Bluetooth module providing users with the features and benefits of the very latest Bluetooth standard.

The Long Range Bluetooth Access Point 3241 is an ideal solution for demanding connectivity applications, where extreme performance and robustness is needed. Access Point 3241 can reach line-of-sight range up to 1000 meters. With typical class 2 Bluetooth devices, the improved sensitivity increases the range up to 80 meters, or 3-4 times more range than normally.

Access Point 3241 is ideal for applications where different Bluetooth devices need to be wirelessly connected to the Internet, such as medical, point-of-sale, proximity marketing, location tracking, digital pen, and generic Bluetooth networking applications. The Access Point 3241 has built-in applications for use in e.g. eHealth and it offers the standardized Bluetooth Health Device Profile and Continua based IEEE 11073-20601 manager. The data can be relayed to various back-end services such as Google Health. Access Point 3241 is also ideal for Bluetooth proximity marketing applications, because the improved range offers extended coverage and more reliable file delivery. The built-in proximity marketing software enables almost all turn-key solutions.

Both access points also have an external USB connector for extending the product capabilities with GPRS/3G USB modems, Wi-Fi, or extra memory.
